Dalbury or Lees? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

stevo185: As per previous logs this has gone missing again, the dead wood that was hiding the box is still in place, but no box.
Will try to find a spot for a new cache somewhere not too far away and not quite as muddy!

Geocache Description:

Just off one of many footpaths in the area, which can get quite muddy.

LEES is a township in the parish of Dalbury, 5½ miles N.W. of Derby, and 6 miles N.E. of Burton-on-Trent. It is a joint township with Dalbury, situated on a branch of the river Dove.

This is a regular cache, a medium size Tupperware container with the usual variety of goodies. The closest you could park to the final location is about a quarter of a mile away (near N52 55.870, W001 36.460) There are however a selection of footpaths which would allow an approach from other directions, other parking spots.
Today (Boxing Day) with snow on the ground the area is quite muddy, and boots were essential, but I can imagine that if there was a lot of rain Wellingtons might be necessary.
Original muggled box now replaced in a (hopefully) more secure lcation. Not quite as muddy as the original, but the last yard is wet, so take care.

Hope you enjoy your walk.
